Thanks for the tips! I'll see what I can do. Meanwhile, I've been reassembling the automatic tuning mechanism and have a few questions.

1. What type of bulbs should be used ? I found two types installed - #44 and some fat 3W bulbs.

2. There is a chrome reflector ring around behind to station identifier tabs. I'm pretty sure all four bulbs should point towards that reflector but the top two on mine point forward. That only illuminates the inside of the cabinet! Should I bend them so they point into the dial ?

3. Finally, I'm confused about the audio muting switch. I understand that it should short out the audio to ground when the tuning handle is pressed in. The inner contact on mine is just sort of floating around inside. I think it should line up with the other contact mounted on the shaft. Not sure if I'm missing something that would secure it in position.
